Hi Florian and Tulio,

Could we backport this patch to the 2.32 branch? It would be helpful to fix the
issue downstream.

Thanks,
Matheus Castanho

---8<---

__attribute__((__aligned__)) selects an alignment that depends on
the micro-architecture selected by GCC flags.  Enabling vector
extensions may increase the allignment.  This is a problem when
building glibc as a collection of ELF multilibs with different
GCC flags because ld.so and libc.so/libpthread.so/&c may end up
with a different layout of struct pthread because of the
changing offset of its struct _Unwind_Exception field.

Sure, looks reasonable.  Do you need it backported further?

Sorry for not being up-to-date with commit capabilities—would you be
able to commit this yourself?

Thanks,
Florian

No. Only 2.32 is enough.

No, I don't have write permission. So I'd appreciate if either you or Tulio
could push it if that's OK.

Thanks,

You should really apply for sourceware access.  Tulio, would you be able
to handle that?

I'm going to push the backport if my test build (on x86-64) completes.

Thanks,
Florian
